What's your favorite costume from canon?

I still love everything Leia Organa haa voluntarily worn (though I will admit it's now hard not to think "no bras in space" for that whole first movie.)

The fuzzy henley-undershirt-tunic Ben Solo has on at the end of Rise of Skywalker. Not only is it just a good look on Adam Driver, but to me at least it's a fantastic throwback to Luke's costume in ROTJ--- where Luke's walking around all badass in black, and then at the end we see the white lining of his black tunic, the symbolism being that he'd been Light all along even if he was dressing (apparently) in black. Similarly, Ben's fuzzy soft tunic--- which has a hole in it from where Rey stabbed him, so we know it's been on his body the whole time--- is equally symbolic that he was a good person under the shell of Kylo Ren all along; this fuzzy cuddly guy (albeit with an edge--- his undertunic isn't white) has been inside him. (I also love that even though from what I saw of the behind-the-scenes footage Adam Driver was actually wearing a tank top under his Kylo Ren tunic, they didn't put Ben in a piece of clothing often called a "wife-beater" because BEN SOLO WOULDN'T. EVER. That hill I will die on. *nods firmly*)
